Vienen

We've all returned. If it hadn't been raining for the last couple of days to keep us indoors, maybe we wouldn't have even noticed how short of a time we have left here with Spring semester 08. As it is, we are cooling our jets from the last week of travel, reorienting ourselves to being back on campus, and realizing we have a very short time left here together.

Students are back in class with Mick Duncan studying Sustainable Community Development for the second week. We got some class in the mornings and evening, with afternoons off. Ok, we got some nice rain. Ok, We even got some Panther Ball (what's that?) this Wednesday. And plenty of schoolwork to be done, I hear.

Autumn has fully settled in, and it is a nice time of the year here I reckon.

Most everyone headed down to the South Island for break, with a few of us spending most of our time seeing the sights in the North. If we can wrangle up some pictures from the students, we may get a blurb or two from them about their time, maybe have a few laughs about Emma putting herself into fetal position when stepping off the bungy tower in Queenstown or about Sara and Allie being attacked by Kea.

Community News:
Matt was treating his hand warts with garlic. I think it's been a few weeks and they are still around but smaller.
Mallory just bought some new shampoo and conditioner.
Allie rolled a Yahtzee today when we played.
Christy has been learning a song on the guitar.
Brett and Jen are studying.
That's all for now.

Note for the readers: You guys are great. Special shout-outs to Brett's parents and Cutter's Dad. Thanks for writing comments on the blog!
